Also known as shadowfolk, dusklings, or more colloquially as the children of the eclipse, the uordeq are a race touched by the cursed twilight of their homeland. Dwelling in the shadows, most uordeq are feared and mistrusted by the light-dwelling races of Orn.

Physical Description

Uordeqs have dark, owl-like circles around their eyes. Some rare uordeq have also been known to display other nocturnal adaptations, such as bat-like ears, or supernatural traits, such as shadows that move of their own accord. Some scholars speculate that these are not random qualities but rather the progressive evolution of the race.

Personality

Due to their nocturnal adaptations, uordeq are unaccustomed to bright light. As such, many wear hoods and similar clothing during the day to protect their eyes. More generally, uordeq have a natural inclination toward stealth, demonstrating a strong preference for dark surroundings and quiet activities. Whether this is a inborn survival instinct or a simple necessity of their culture is uncertain.

Relations

At best, uordeq are treated as outcasts. In many cases, they are feared, hunted, and forced into hiding by the light-dwelling races of Orn. In reality, most uordeq are merely misunderstood, although enough have been implicated as thieves and warlocks to taint the reputation of the race as a whole.

Notable Uordeq

Drake Luminesti, a fallen monk who aided Cassandra Soleil in defeating the avatar of Etejeril prior to the Shattering, is commonly thought of as an ancestor to the modern uordeq.

Uordeq Adventurers

Uordeq are respected as survivors if nothing else, and frequently join adventuring groups out of a need for safety and tolerance. In such groups, they usually let others take the lead while they fade into the background and use their inherent stealth to accomplish the group's goals.

Costuming Requirements

Uordeq characters must wear black face paint or eye shadow in large circles over their eyes. Many uordeq wear dark clothing with hoods.
